10 Ways For Kids To Talk With Santa in 2023

While the entire idea of Santa coming on Christmas Eve is exciting enough, what if there was a way for kids to talk with Santa? That would definitely be more fun! There are lots of ways to get your kid’s special message sent to Santa. You can:

• text Santa
• send a letter to Santa
• email Santa
• call Santa
• video message Santa

You have lots of options when it comes to speaking directly to Saint Nick. Let’s get started.

Text Santa

https://www.santa.com

From December 1st until Christmas Day, you can sign your child up with www.santa.com to receive daily personalized texts. These text include amusing facts (like how reindeer can fly), messages about what’s going on in the North Pole, and messages reminding your child to do important things (like read before bed).

Cost: a one time payment of 9.99.

Send a Letter to Santa

Of course you could simply send a handwritten letter to Santa on a plain piece of paper, but why do that when you can get adorable free printable letters to send to Santa?

Free Printable Letter to Santa

The second option comes from Hadley Designs. I adore the design of this letter. It’s perfect for families who don’t give many presents, and who might want to focus on Santa giving something that your child needs, wants, can wear and can read.

Cost: FREE (with email sign-up)

Now that you letter is written and ready to be sent to Santa, you might be wondering how you’re actually going to get it to him.

Follow these instructions that tell you how to get a letter from Santa that is officially postmarked from the North Pole.

Email Santa

If you would rather take the digital route, you might prefer to email Santa.

Email Santa is great for kids because it gives them prompts. When your child is asked how good she’s been, a drop down menu gives these options: I should be the angel on top of the tree, my halo is just a little bit crooked, I should still be on the nice list, and my halo has been to the repair shop only a few times.

It also gives your child a chance to add a few things from her wish list, and a spot to add anything else that she really wants to say to Santa.

Your child can then choose to receive a written reply (within a few seconds), or a video reply (which takes a little longer).

This site contains other really fun stuff too, like the ability to vote for who will lead Santa’s sleigh. You can also send an email to Rudolph on behalf of a pet, view Santa on the SantaCam, read Santa’s tweets, and more!
